>> sean: hang in there. that goes for the republicans, especially you guys, the ones with the weak spine, the ones that go wobbly. you know maybe time to show a little political courage, this is about life and death for people. stopping the 90% of heroin coming into the country. this show we're not the hate trump media. let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham is standing by. where are you? >> laura: i didn't even see you. how can i do the show in new york for two days and you can't walk five flights of stairs? i don't know what floor you're on. everyone thinks we hang out together. i never see tucker or you. >> sean: i spend an hour and 20 minutes in this building and i'm, boom, out of door. >> laura: i know. hannity comes in with jeans and a vapor pen, sorry. >> sean: i do, it's called the juul. >> laura: oh no, we're trying to get that, oh, no. >> sean: the daily mail literally ran frame by frame.

>> laura: that was actually -- you have to take up smoking again, quit the vapor pen. >> sean: my son is dad that's really cool. my daughter is dad that's humiliating and embarrassing. >> laura: good to see you. i'm laura ingraham, this is the "ingraham angle" back in washington tonight. progressives gone wild! right off the bat that's the focus of tonight's angle. the 2020 election cycle has already begun. as the super stars of the democratic party are now more left wing than ever before. they're already trying to out do one another on the c compassion scale. the first thing i would do is restore what's been lost. the integrity and compassion of this country new york loves you if you are l or g or b or t or q, if you are black or white or brown.

if you are a christian a muslim or if you are jewish, if you are a new immigrant or an old immigrant, new york loves you! and what makes us great is we have no tolerance for hate in our state! >> laura: catch which i! he left off asians and atheists. okay. of course when cuomo says no to rashes for hate he really means no tolerance for conservatives in the positions that they hold. because in cuomo's compassionate new york there's no tolerance for the inalienable rights of the unborn, the life that his own church says is sacred. >> i believe we should pass a constitutional amendment, not just a roe v wade law, a constitutional amendment. let's right the rights of roe v wade into the state constitution

so it can never be changed. >> laura: i think what's going on here is that cuomo, like so many on the left, is really worried. he's worried that the supreme court might reverse roe, might send it all back to the states. and he also has to know that public opinion is shifting a bit toward the more pro life position. and by the way if america's declining fertility rate continues, andy i have a question, who is going to pay all those taxes to support his pet projects? of course with zero regard for facts, cuomo brags that he has this economic prosperity thing down we're the most progressive state in the united states of america. we balance budgets. we have the most socially progressive accomplishments of any state in the nation. and it's not even close. first big state to pass marriage equality.

first state to pass $15 the highest minimum wage. >> laura: yeah, the democrats zombies they actually panned the audience, standing and applauding, standing ovation. but they're unconcerned with the real world affects of some of those policies, namely this rise in the minimum wage. a restaurant owner in new york city told cbs we lost control of our largest controllable expense. so in order to live with that and stay in business here we're cutting hours. well this is the third wage hike in new york sins 2016. so who does that really help? certainly not the restaurants, not the workers, getting the hours cut. and not the patrons. a new york city hospitality alliance survey of 574 restaurants found that 75% of full service restaurants plan to cut employee hours this year due to that minimum wage hike. but that's not all.

47% say they will cut jobs in 2019. and 87% say they're gonna raise menu prices. we went out to dinner last night in new york it was pretty expensive already. well this is the opposite my friends of compassion. this brings us to the freshest of congressional freshmen, fresh people, what can we say now? alexandria ocasio-cortez who happi happily refirst to herself as a socialist and a radical. i think she is as close to a thought leader that the democratic party has today. she has a massive social media following. she's carries matt i can and she's committed to transforming our economic systems and our culture. she aims to create a socialist economic system with sky high

tax rates. >> you know you look at our tax rates back in the 60, when you have a progression tax system your tax rate from zero to $75,000 may be 10% or 15%, et cetera, once you get to the tippy top on your ten millionth dollar sometimes you see tax rates as high as 60 or 70%, that doesn't mean all ten million are taxed at an extremely high tax rate but you should be contributing more. >> laura: well it doesn't stop there if we get people to pay their fair share that's two trillion in ten years. if we implement a carbon tax on top of that so we can transition and financially incentivize people away from fossil fuels, if we implement the carbon tax that's an additional amount of a large amount of revenue that we can have.

>> laura: ref vor noah's eyes are blazing over. how does this add up? it doesn't. on the cultural side she and others like her intend to use the government in their positions of influence now to mandate campus style political correctness. what do i mean by that? anyone who dares question this progressive agenda is not just wrong but they're down right evil. so there's no room for debate. and a recent tweet she asserts many have recognized that fox news has crossed the line beyond conservatism into out right bigotry with their financing of tucker carlson and laura ingraham. well you see my friends this isn't your daddy's liberalism where it was all about love and peace and live and let live. this is kind of the old school new england puritan in his many with a radical twist. they're going to whip up their followers to try to the

intimidate and silence anyone who gets in their way. she's only been on the job for six days but she's already practicing saul alinsky's rules for radicals. rule 13, pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it. go after people and not institutions. people hurt faster than institutions. so rather than debating the merit of policies, these new left wing progressive puritans aim to shame. a wall is racist. so people who want a wall are racist. end of story. >> a wall is an i am morality, it's not who we are as a nation. it's a wall between reality and his constituents, his supporters. >> laura: now all of you who are doing better in the trump economy, you should know this, they plan it take our money away and re distribute it to, you

know, wherever their pet causes are. and to all of our libertarian friends who believe that trump is the big threat to the free market because of tariffs and so forth, open your eyes, these people including nancy pelosi who has moved to the left, they're going to take it all away, freedom of speech, contract, religion or conscience. you think i'm exaggerating? i'm not. because when you say the wrong thing and ocasio-cortez world, they put you in detention hall and you never get out. remember they believe that they're right and you're evil. and moderates even seem petrified of taking on these new progressives. this is former sec chair on cnbc. >> joining the house committee led by maxine waters what is that going to look like for the industry? >> well maybe she'll learn something.

[ laughter ] >> are you questioning some of the -- some of her economic ideas that she's put out there? >> i've never seen any historic evidence that 70% tax rates facilitate gdp growth. perha perhaps, you know, we'll discover something. [ laughter ] >> laura: i'm watching this, this morning, going is that all you have richard? that's a really powerful reputation, real strong defense of the free market and capit capitali capitalism. republicans out to take it seriously and offer a strong counter narrative. if you want to know what it looks like to be a conservative and in the fetal position worried about being branded racist or evil, look no further than theresa may, didn't work out well for her to be on her heels. trump is the opposite, he fights for law and order, sovereignty, judges who apply the law and don't rewrite it and he fights

for a stronger economy. after two years of president trump we have higher wages, 500,000 new manufacturing jobs, the strongest gdp growth at moaning all the g7 nations, but the progressives, they don't care. because their green contract with america requires your standard of living to go down, tough cookies. these people are fanatics and they're running for president! but are you considering running for president? i'm focused on my job but listen right now our party is going through a serious debate and there's still a lot of moderate voices in the party that did not learn the lessons of 2016 and are not listening to go what people need in this country t i want to push this whole party, we could go a lot farther, boulder than what we're doing now. >> are you ruling it out? i never rule things out. >> laura: well watch your wallet. and what are the progressives actually learning themselves? not much. americans are fleeing the most

progressive states in america due to high costs and high taxes. no wonder they're welcoming illegal immigrants in new york and california, they need the citizens coming in, all the other citizens are leaving. or americans ready to be ruled by the values and policies of progressives in new york and california? let's hope not. and that's the angle. alright joining me now matt schlapp, raheem kassam and monique pressley. guys i love the graphic, girls gone wild, remember that? that was a wild show, progressives gone wild. got a laugh. matt my feeling is it's kind of easy and i've fallen into that brush people off, ocasio-cortez, ha ha ha she's so funny. i have to say, really impressive that she goes from being, you know she was working anything a coffee shop. >> right. >> laura: fairly modest means.

>> yep. >> laura: she takes on this very liberal, crowley, congressman crowley, third in leadership in the democratic party. >> right. >> laura: she organizes the heck of it and rolls right over him. i kind of like the fact she's like you guys lost to trump, i'm gonna help take this party in a new direction. i kind of admire that. i mean her little tweet about me, i think she's probably -- my authentic self, she's questioning my own truth i think as a single woman i felt so -- fended by what she said about me, woman to woman. >> if she came on your show i think you would do just fine. >> laura: we tried to get in touch with her. haven't heard back. we would have a good conversation, actually. i don't think it's smart for conservatives to kind of ridicule her or to write her off. i don't think so look, we have cpac coming up in less than 50 days. what's happening on college

campuses and high school campuses and younger is this radicalization of the education establishment. look at the results. she has advanced expensive degrees and she doesn't seem to know basic fundamentals about constitution, american law and economics. i'm not mocking her, i fear her because it's working. people are listening to her. we need to wake up and educate our kids to push back on this radicalism because america won't be the same if we don't win these battles. >> laura: monique some stuff the california new york coalition? is that enough to drive the party back into the hard land, ohio, michigan, wisconsin? states they need to win look we have to win everywhere. and i'm not in favor of us just winning on coasts. i'm not from a coast. i'm from texas, deep in the heart of texas. >> laura: i already like you so i believe that you have

to have a message that speaks to everyone. >> laura: does she speak for everybody? i don't think the message that matt just gave us about the poor girl who really doesn't understand things like economics will work when we have a president who serves hamburgers but can't spell it. i mean do you put ham and then burger and then will it be easier? >> laura: that's a snide comment. if he -- >> if he only misspelled one thing it would be petty. >> laura: do you want to go there? spelling and grammar? i can go through aoc's tweets and nancy pelosi's tweets i'm not so good. >> laura: is that where we're going? that's not your best argument. >> he's a 70 plus year old billionaire and she's the youngest person to be a member of congress. >> laura: i just said we should take her seriously i think we should. when we look at mistakes like i said we need to look at mistakes from the person who has the highest office in the land. >> laura: okay. you're actually making a point

that i think reinforces what i was saying earlier in an odd way. i said you should take her seriously. i don't think she's returning the favor to someone who has worked their way up through the media. i don't know gave me anything, i worked my tail off for what i have. there was a snide comment, she's better. >> it's tucker more than you she kind of through you under the bus with tucker. >> laura: conservative women never get their due. it's only liberal women, that's fine like maxine waters? >> laura: i think your point about trump doesn't know how to spell or his tweets. fine, if trump is that dumb, as the liberals say, boy, how did you guys -- how did you guys not beat him until you had hillary and obama supporting him but for the russian assist i think we would have beat him.

go finger. >> i'm from the united kingdom and my parents are from tranz sa. >> reporter: i can't. we have had a hard line social list in charge. you guys need to take alexandria ocasio-cortez, the democrats need to treat her as more of a danger than conservatives do. what jeremy has done in the labor party, he cannot get his party to take power, even if he won an election he wouldn't hold the confidence of parliament. if you allow someone who has read rules for liberals to take over both the cultural and she's good at that, take over the cultural and the policy orientation of the party you won't get the reigns back she's very good and smart. i love that we're here discussing this a day after dr. martin luther king's birthday. he was considered fringe. >> that's not true. >> laura: he came from the church. he came from the church it doesn't matter.

>> he was an american nationalist he had less popularity at death than president trump right now. >> he also was a republican, so let's go through those. let's take her seriously i'm happy to. >> laura: who else on t.v. is saying to take her seriously? i am. i haven't heard anyone on any other shows to take this seriously i credit you for that i don't agree. let's go into this. she is an amazing political leader. i disagree with what she's saying on policy. i owe it to her to listen to her. >> laura: i don't have to agree with her ideas socialism is a threat and she represents socialism it depends on what you're talking about socialism is defined as. >> laura: she's defining it for us. guys, think about it. hold on, hold on. hold on there's a host. there's a host

>> laura: there's a host here. here i am i'm sorry >> laura: this is what alexandria ocasio-cortez said to the washington post, i want to say this because we reached out to the post tonight and asked them for a full transcript of what they said. in this interview, sometimes you edit for length and i get that. i wanted to see the full content of what she said. but they edited it for space and i don't know what. they didn't give us the full transcript, we got the printed transcript. she said there's nothing about the republican etiology that is about wealth building or prosperity for the working class. okay, now, that's really interesting, in the washington post, because the washington post just published a piece in september talking about how blue collar wages, the wage increases under trump, the jobs boom has finally reached blew collar workers, will it last? thank god we're finally seeing wages go up. wall street doesn't like that.

it's good for regular people, african americans, latinos, all going up african americans, latinos, white people, everybody has lower skill wages, there are more people who are poor who are considered white. >> laura: are you not saying -- monique, that wages are going up, are you actually disagreeing with the journal and bloomberg and washington post i'm trying to explain. wages increasing is not the same as wealth building, is it? yes it is. >> laura: how do you save money? if i go from renting to owning -- that's wealth building. >> laura, let me have a shot here. >> laura: the first moment you started working let me have a shot here you have to check with people are color and you have to know the numbers to know that people -- >> laura: alright. alright. all right. hold on. do you know what the phrase run

train means? no. what does it mean. >> laura: she says and i quote i'm six days into the term and you already used all your ammo so enjoy being exhausted for the next two years, i recall kind of like that she's daring them. but then she said while we run train oh >> laura: on the progressive agenda okay. >> laura: law enforce. analyst said espn who speaks live on air without a net, understand misspeaking happens to the best of us, but know that no other context for this vile phrase as someone who investigated violent street crime for years, this is from from foal lawns that i've i want row rated it is a violent phrase and it implies a lack of consent yeah like grabbing them by someone actually he said they let you, fyi. >> laura: people are leaving california, new york and venezuela. they're leaving all places

let's figure out the middle like texas. >> laura: we're out of time. guys great panel, great debate and the i gave a comment to alexandria ocasio-cortez not just for charisma, she has guts. up next nancy pelosi now wants to shut down the state of the union. is she concerned about how she would look after the botched rebuttal to president trump last week? stay there. ep saving the world. >> kids: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace ♪ got it. ran out of ink and i have a big meeting today. and 2 boxes of twizzlers... yeah, uh...for the team. the team? gooo team... order online pickup in an hour. and, now get 20% off with coupon. at office depot officemax.

♪ ♪ >> you hope he's -- the government shut down. this is a housekeeping matter. [ inaudible question ] you can make it to the oval office. >> laura: it's time for another edition of petulant politics with nancy pelosi. while speaker mimi is is trying to pull a fast one in telling trump to delay his state of the union address citing security concerns because of the shut down, but the authorities are calling her bluff. joining me now is chief national correspondent ed henry. what's the scoop? it's interesting. the speaker is trying to spin the number of the president as a security matter. it appears to be more a case of cold hard politics. some of the president's advisors whispering for him to deliver

the state of the union on his own terms. the president could turn around and deliver written remarks from the oval office or maybe even the southern border with the border patrol and ice. he just visited there, instead of capitol hill on jan 29th. pelosi's gamble appears to be backfiring. house republican leader kevin mccarthy declaring this is unbecoming from the speaker. she's taking heat from creditors step nielsen. they pushed back that it could make the state of the union unsafe tweeting that we're fully prepared to support and secure the state of the union. the president could benefit from other cracks on the democratic side. senator joe manchin and other moderates are working on a plan to give the democrats what they want by trying to re-open the government for three weeks to give time to negotiate a

compromise on what the president wants, more money for border security i'm not sure what her intentions are. i have the utmost respect for speaker pelosi but i think this is the wrong approach to be taken. >> remember pelosi's invite to deliver the state of the union was on january 3rdrd. she had come back from a hawaiian vacation while the president was at the white house. fox got footage of the democrats and lob gists in puerto rico. you can see them on the patio at the hotel? san juan, rooms cost more than 400 bucks per night. that comes after the weekend photo of senator menendez on the beach but together by various lobbying companies. senator menendez told fox it was neither fair nor balanced to show that photo that you cannot

unsee. >> laura: i love that overhead shot. you have the shadow graphic on. that that looked kind of fun. i thought they were against all the big money in politics and they always trash republicans for hanging out with lob universities, wasn't that just yesterday? that was and also obviously with the shut down we keep hearing about people are not getting paychecks, long lines for it. sa, we need to be focused, instead you see other things going on >> laura: i think amazon could cover the difference without feeling it. they could cover it awhile for the good of the country. give us a loan. thank you ed. fantastic report, thank you so much. joining me is house minority leade leader steve scalise. i know you want to comment on the aoc lurch to the left of the democrat party, but schumer and pelosi love to say that trump throws temper tantrums. so they say that he's petulant, he walked out of the meeting. what does this look like?

laura the left has become unhinged. i've been in all those meetings in the situation room with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, the top leaders in the house and senate. every single meeting the president was calm and putting options on the table to re-open the government while securing the border. not one single time did they ever put an alternative on the table, not once. this has been going on for almost 30 days now. the president was there during christmas waiting. he's there now. he's been talking to the american people. and frankly you're seeing the polling getting better and better as people find out what's going on. >> laura: she thinks she can ride this all the way to getting trump to cave. this is going to be trump's no new taxes moment. i said you were house point leader whip, republican whip. >> laura: you're whipping the votes. she thinks this is good for her politically. all the crocodile tears about the workers and they're hanging out in puerto rico, but the workers, every difficult story of a worker not being able to pay a bill.

every single story is showing up, it's a drum beat. and the pressure is on the president. they mean to put the pressure on the president to cave. i don't think the president is caving the president has been steadfast and consistent in saying that he is going to do everything it takes to secure america's border. he's pointed out how bad the problems are. look, this latest stunt and it's not even a stunt, this is unprecedented, where a speaker of the house is uninviting a president to the state of the union. >> laura: do you think she will turn her back? i predict there are some in this progressive new caucus who will turn their back if that president walks down the aisle they have done everything to try to insult the president to not even acknowledge that he is the president. the bottom line is the american people want to know the facts about this, they want to watch. they've been tuning in, they watched last week and saw schumer and pelosi give that ridiculous looking response. i think they're seeing it's starting to come unhinged on their side.

you see more democrat members of congress getting nervous about this because they're seeing people getting -- not get paychecks and they're seeing their party is stranding up for open borders. they don't want to secure the border. that's an untenable position to hold. to say you're not going to let the president come to the capitol to give the state of the union. >> laura: i thought it was the people's house, she likes to say it's the people's house, grandma mimi with all the grandkids. what is this? they might be holding the paychecks of government workers hostage, to hold the state of the union hostage -- >> laura: do you think the president should say i'm coming? i would like to see him pick another venue, go near the border, show exactly what's going on not only at the border. but look if you live in pennsylvania you know somebody whose son died of an overdose from heroin, 90% of the heroin is coming from the southern border. this problem affects everybody in this country. we've got to secure the border.

i don't think the -- pelosi can try to stop the truth from coming out. i talked to secretary of homeland security nielsen this morning. she said the secret service have been planning. >> laura: it's a lie. let's call it what it is. that was a lie. she lied about this the democrats reached out to find out if it was a problem, it's not a problem. they're afraid of the facts coming out. pelosi can't sustain this. >> laura: cracks in the democrat opposition to the wall they're feeling the heat. some of these new house members that aren't far left that like aoc, they're feeling the pressure. they tried to stop them from going to the white house. >> laura: some of these people are is criticizing clemson, the national football champions, this is steny hoyer on with bret baier about whether the wall is immoral a wall is immoral if it tries to imprison people who shouldn't be imprisoned. >> okay. the wall is -- that protects

people is not immoral. >> do you think a wall, a barrier is racist? bret, listen. >> mr. leader, here is the bottom line. i don't talk in those terms, i don't think that's the way we ought to look at it. >> laura: as i said in the angle, calling someone or something racist as a way to avoid a substantive debate that's a weak sister move and it defies the gravity of where they were. in 20006 chuck schumer voted not just for steel barriers that they want to build, chuck schumer and barack obama voted for over $50 billion. the president is asking for one tenth of that amount. >> laura: i think the president has to stay s he has to be a wall of strength for the american people president trump has been rock solid. standing up for the american people to secure the border. >> laura: until nancy drops her security detail and keeps the door open in pacific heights or wherever she's living now.

unlock the doors to your house and then we'll talk. great to see you as always good to be here. >> laura: should transgender athletes be allowed to compete against the gender they identify as? that important debate, what this does to women's sports, next. daddy diaper duty... i can't say it's the highlight of fatherhood. but i'd rather be here with my little man than not be here because of migraine. i have three words for migraine... "i am here." aimovig, a preventive treatment for migraine in adults, reduces the number of monthly migraine days. for some, that number can be cut in half or more. the most common side effects are pain, redness or swelling at the injection site and constipation. talk to your doctor about aimovig. and be there more.

that would bar transgender students from playing on athletic teams based on their gender and have it be based on their birth certificate gender the primary sponsor of the bill is republican senator who was an athletic director. he says it's about fair competition and is patterned after rules in texas which require that students participate on sports teams that correspond with the section listed on their birth certificate. saying this has nothing to do with bathrooms, locker rooms or shower rooms, this has only to do with the eligibility for athletic competition. the south dakota high school activities association and the south dakota aclu plan to fight the bill with the aclu saying participation in athletic activities has a widespread positive impact on the social,

physical, and emotional well-being of students and provides kids with lessons about self discipline, teamwork, perseverance, success and failure n an op said for out magazine transgender athlete said this about the south dakota bill, like other policies targeting transyouth this bill sends a message to transstudents that they are shameful and not worthy of the benefits available to their peers. last summer in connecticut a transgender the student won the girls track and field state championship, another transgender student came in second. prompting parents to circulate petitions questioning the fairness and calling for a rule change. in texas a transgender high school wrestler was booed after beating a female competitor and advancing to the state finals, watch this it? >> it's not fair for that individual that wants to transition and wrestle boys, it's not fair for the female

wrestlers, it's an unfair advantage. >> a lot of parents feel that way. south dakota's republican governor is studying the newly introduced bill and not yet commenting on it. >> laura: very interesting. thanks so much trace. here now is bianca stanescu, the mother of a girl that was beaten by a transathlete in connecticut that trace just mentioned. she's circulating a petition calling on athletes to compete in sports based on the gender of their birth unless the athlete has undergone hormone therapy. very confusing. and joanna harper has been called the leading expert on transathletes and happens to be one herself. bianca as a mom who has seen her daughter defeated by a transathlete, tell us about that. i played high school sports and i remember the boys soccer team in connecticut, we were ranked number one in field hockey, my junior year, the boys team, soccer team came and played us

for just fun. they beat us like, i think it was like 5-0 we were really mad. they had never picked up a field hockey stick before, they're a lot faster. what did it feel like for you? >> well what it came down to is first it came as a shock. because, you expect athletes to compete at a certain level. when somebody stands out, out of the crowd, at such an advantage over the others you start questioning. when we first found out about this, we were not even aware that they were transgender females competing at that point. we were looking at the athletes just being another girl. and. >> laura: we're looking at -- just so people know we're looking at terry miller i believe on the screen. correct me if i'm wrong guys. who won not only one race but broke two records, both in the

200 meter dash and in the 100 meter dash. and these are very competitive districts. i remember them well, in connecticut. buckley high school, great school, my high school, another great high school, where i came from. but you can see quite a -- very speedy. so was your daughter upset at the athlete or hold anything against the athlete or just upset because she thought it was just an unfair advantage? it's the rule. and what the rule -- what terry miller made us aware of, is that one day you can compete as a male and the next day you can compete as a female because that's what happened in this particular case. was listed and competed as a male up until the end of the indoor season in 2018, only to start the season two weeks later and compete as a female. >> laura: wow!! >> one question is how is this possible? >> laura: okay. joanna, i want to go to you.

i want to get your perspective here. i have to say as someone who played sports pretty seriously, i love sports, i miss team sports, so much none. i want everyone to plate. i love the fact that girls are out there competing and doing so well. i love it, i think it's great, it's great for yourself esteem and so forth. isn't it true that just a biological fact that men have faster small twitch muscles, larger internal organs, lungs, hearts, it's not a political statement it's a physiological fact. isn't it normal, your make up, hip size all those things that lead it strength on average men will run races 10 to 12% faster than women. and so, you know, that is why we separate male from female athletes. after hormone therapy,

transathletes lose much of their advantage. but in this particular case, in connecticut, these individuals were not on or moan therapy. >> laura: so you would not think that, especially in the raises that were involved that that was fair to the young women who were competing in the gender of their birth in that category is it that wouldn't be something you would advocate? you know most high school athletes aren't really that serious about their sports. >> laura: i was. >> so in terms of participation. >> laura: i get what you're saying. it was pretty competitive let me finish here laura, please. but in those cases where you are talking about the championships, talking about potential scholarships, in those cases, i certainly would not let a tra transwoman compete without undergoing hormone therapy. >> laura: bianca was your daughter serious about sports? did she take it seriously

i haven't seen one -- it's her life. it's her life. every win, every jump she feels she needs it set a personal record every single jump, or every single run that she takes. >> laura: she got robbed it's her whole life. >> laura: yeah one bad jump is deaf vast station. to say that athletes, the ones that are in the elite varsity team, to say that they don't care enough! it's not true. you watch, every sing the saturday, one false start, for one athlete, and she crumble. it's like the world has ended for them in that split of a second. >> laura: all i can say, i still remember losing the state championship, in field hockey. i remember the goal. i remember how we didn't score the next goal. i remember everything about it. we took it very seriously in field hockey. we had great great athletes. i think it's not good for the

transathletes or for the young women. i don't understand how this is fair at any level felt i just think it's a basic fairness question. this debate is going to continue. we would like to have you both back and continue to follow this, hopefully there will be some resolution that makes sense in all of this. coming up striking teachers in los angeles are deploying some of the most despicable tactics imaginable. we'll reveal their shameful actions and debate it, next. all money managers might seem the same, but some give their clients cookie cutter portfolios. fisher investments tailors portfolios to your goals and needs. some only call when they have something to sell. fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. and while some advisors are happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management.

♪ ♪ >> whose school? your school. >> whose school? our school. >> we will fight on until we get what we need. well not give up. >> it is unacceptable to have teachers come in and leave because the conditions are too hard and the anticipate isn't enough. >> we just don't have enough money to do everything that utla is asking los angeles counsel identified to do. >> laura: despite the claim from the striking l.a. teachers the actions of some of those teachers call into question their true motive. they claim it's about the kids. but that argument is tough to scare. some are posting the names of substitutes who cross the picket lines on social media.

some families are treated, these are families, kids, by the striking teachers. look at this. so it's really all about the kids, who actually want to learn. here now is rebecca freed crick who says the unions have turned their backs on the kids and joe who is on strike. thank you for being here. >> joey get the did hes sire for more resources, more pay, smaller classrooms. i understand it, believe me. teachers in my family. they do yeoman's work. but don't strikes like this end up hurting the lower income families, the disability, kids with disabilities and so forth? sins they struggle to find, you know, care for their kids while you're on strike? is that a concern? the strike is for the low income kids. if you're looking at the support that we're looking for, for more services in classrooms that is for them. utla has a food drive we're

doing for low income kids as well. yeah strikes by their nature are hardships, struggles. that's not a good thing. but the goal is to strike for those kids. i spent ten years in south central. no one is going to tell you that i'm not there for the kids. i guarantee this is why we're doing it. everyone knows we're very close on money. the money is not the issue, the issue is class size, support services, a nurse full time at every school. that's not a radical ask. >> laura: rebecca there are a lot of strains on public schools across the country, especially in california, the strains of the resources, class sizes, that's all hard, made more difficult by a lot of the immigration that's come into the state of california, multiple languages spoken, same thing not too far from here in fairfax county virginia, maricopa, a lot of tough deals that the teachers are dealing with. but joe says look they want this to be better for the children. is that what the unions are all about here?

well i have to disagree completely. i've been a teacher for 28 years. teachers put children first. and i can tell you that the teachers unions do not put children first. there are over 500,000 low income children in l.a. unified who are not being serviced this week. a lot of their parents can't go to work. one of those parents called me last night. she was terrified. she said it was too frightening to take her kids to school. but the principals were putting pressure on because of course the schools lose ada money when kids don't come to school. they're herding the kids into the cafeteria or multipurpose room. these kids are losing out. this mom is very angry at unions but as a taxpayer and parent she's completely silent. i would like to ask the unions what they're going to do for that family. >> laura: joe i'm sure you're

not in favor, they're basically taunting the kids and the parents that are going in to be taught by substitutes. if it's about the kids why are they hassling the kids and parents going into the front door of the school? that doesn't look pro kid to me i'm not going to talk about a video i didn't see. >> laura: i just described it for you yeah, that's fine. you're talking about isolated incident. my parents are striking with me. an isolated incident of a parent calling in, that's horrible. the notion we're not doing this for the kids is belied by the fact we've been asking for the same thing for 20 months. we're using the only thing we have to get lower class size. the notion that it's not good for the kids to have less than 40 per teacher, how is that radical? this was something 938% of the teachers in l.a. usd voted for. 80% of los angeles citizens support us. >> laura: we're out of time.

i would like to have you back on the pod cast tomorrow or next week. i think this is going to keep going on. interesting conversation, and we're going to dig a lot deeper thank you. for joining us. ted cruz's beard, the talk of washington. how did he grow it? he explains it in tonight's last bite! ld. that's why we show you exactly when we'll be there. saving you time, so you can keep saving the world. >> kids: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace ♪ ..

>> senator ted cruz sharing the

secret to his new look. >> this is a public service announcement. number of people have asked me how do you grow a beard? i will do what i can to help you. this is a razor. stop using it. rest. its nature. >> i think he looks really good in that beard. shannon bream, the fox news at 19, take it from here. >> it is called hunting season. find a razor again and i get really happy. we begin with a fox news alert with the president facing a new crisis in syria, a deadly challenge to his america first policy, appears the commander-in-chief is holding firm in his plan to get our troops out of syria.
